I can try to check I'm in my bedroom with the door locked I have the sword with me but I don't know how to use it but I think I can try to check if he's still there
don't i'm right here and i'll stand a better chance in a fight with him let me see if i can get this door open
[He'll try for awhile longer, though it doesn't seem like he's getting anywhere. Should he break through a window...??? How did this guy get in here anyway??]
Does it seem to be exactly what happened? Actually, yeah.
The lights are on in here, and the guy is standing just inside the entryway, entirely too close for it to have been anyone else who unlocked it; he's kind of dressed like some sort of crisis is being had but you know what, that's. Probably fine. Definitely a thing, but fine.
...That said, he doesn't seem to be moving to attack you, or, you know, moving at all. Just kind of apparently staring at you in a way that wouldn't be out of place in The Shining.]
[He is about two seconds from punching the dude anyway, because when in doubt, just punch it. But he actually does recognize those clothes - there was a guy wearing something like that in one of his memories, wasn't there? He's pretty sure there was, though that doesn't explain what a guy from their past life is doing here.]
Who are you? How did you get in here?
[Okay, so he won't punch, but he will reach out for the front of the guy's robes anyway. He's not sure what the hell this is, but he Doesn't Like It.]
[...Yeah there's...not a lot of answer to be had here, actually. He'll completely allow you to grab him with very little resistance, though, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of recognition going on here.
Okay. He'll just let the guy go carefully, wait a moment to make sure he doesn't do anything, and then move around him back toward where he's assuming Arthur's room is.]
Hey, Arthur. It's— Well, I don't want to say it's okay, exactly, but he's not going to do anything. Come get a look at him, see if you recognize him.
[He'll come out eventually - from the sound of it he was sitting braced against the door, it'll take him a second to get up and unlock it - and when he does he's got the sword with him; he's holding it like it's a goddamn baseball bat and he's 100% prepared to home run some guy's skull in if he has to but at least he's. Here. And not going to whack you with it.]
You have my apologies for bothering you like this in the middle of the night.
[It's tense, but goddamn, of course he's apologizing because what else is he gonna do.]
[...everything about this is ridiculous, he doesn't even know where to start.]
That's not how you should hold... Never mind. Look, you don't need to apologize. This sorta shit's scary, and I would've fought him, but I'm pretty sure he'd just... let me punch him.
[He sounds like he Doesn't Like It. That's creepy???]
[understand, but then he gets a good look at the guy and jesus, he sure is just standing there like one of the creepy twins from Hotel Overlook. Jesus.]
...Ah.
[He's not lowering the sword any, even if that's absolutely not how it should be held; his grip is tight on it, and for the time being he's just kind of trying to figure out what to do with himself.]
[He's content to just... let this happen for a moment because man. What do you even say to this.
But the moment passes eventually and he shrugs a bit.]
Since he just sort of appeared here, I'd assume Retrospec had something to do with it. Didn't think you could regain a person, but maybe he's like Morgrim.

And then it'll click open? It sounds like someone may have unlocked it from the inside.]
no subject
Well, maybe Arthur got it? But that doesn't make any sense, he just told him to stay put—
Whatever, he'll let himself in then, ready to throw down anyway, even though it'd make no sense for the guy to unlock the door himself.]
